It is "correct" if you want to connect using "play.totemmc.fun".

If you want people to be able to connect using "totemmc.fun" alone, then remove the ending ".play" from the name, so it's just "_minecraft._tcp"

However, since the SRV record's target is "play.totemmc.fun", having a SRV record for the "play" (_minecraft._tcp.PLAY) label as you show, is somewhat redundant - and not necessary / useless.

thanks @olive flax

not entirely

it makes it so that people connecting don't have to put the port

without the srv, it'll probably go to some rando's server on that (likely shared) ip

Thanks! Somehow I may have misread the different port up there!

Most often, I see people adding the SRV even when they're running with the default port - which, as mentioned above, would be redundant / not necessary / useless when using the default port.

yeah

@cunning summit Not sure if you're still looking, - but to clear it up from above:

Since you are actually using a non-default port (e.g. 49015 instead of 25565), you might actually want to have the SRV record as mentioned above.

If you are looking to be able to connect using BOTH the two names, "totemmc.fun" and "play.totemmc.fun", then you would like to add two almost identical SRV records.

One with the name "_minecraft._tcp" and one with the name "_minecraft._tcp.play", but with the same contents.
